With the Virginia gubernatorial election just weeks away, Republican nominee and state attorney general Ken Cuccinelli launched an ad on Friday attacking his opponent, Democrat Terry McAuliffe, for “profiting off the terminally ill.”

McAuliffe’s campaign responded to the ad by saying, “This ad is despicable and the latest sign that Ken Cuccinelli is resorting to desperate and false attacks to make up for the fact that he is one of the most disliked statewide candidates in memory.”

A spokesman for McAuliffe also affirmed that the Democratic candidate “had no idea about the horrible allegations against the defendant.”

Cuccinelli refuses to let up, though; his campaign says that it will continue to push McAuliffe for answers about how he met Caramadre and what he believed he was really investing in, according to Politico.
